"Staff rude on 2 separate occasions. No awareness of actual rules regarding covid seating. No thought given to disability rights. You should never separate a disabled person from their carer/s. That is my right as a disabled person! They asked one of my carers to leave and sit at a different table when it was my wheelchair that was outside the designated area not them because there was myself,a toddler and 2 carers in the corner table causing no inconvenience to anybody (all in one family) and there wasn't any more space in entire store. Only my wheelchair overhung the box which is a reasonable adjustment for my needs. It would have made no difference moving my carer because i was the issue! Made us feel unwelcome. Previous to this staff told my family off for moving chairs we didnt move and interrupted their meal to move them. Really? Absolutely terrible customer service skills, we are regular customers at greggs and after this treatment We will not be returning in a hurry."

"My fiancé and I visited Costa in the seaside town of Frinton on sea on September 4th. As a regular customer at Costa in London, I was shocked by the condition of the shop there. The toilets were particularly dirty and the customer service was below par. We ordered two chocolate fudge brownie frappes, but noticed that there was excess frappe leftover in the jug after our drinks were poured. Instead of saving it for another customer, the employee filled the jug with tap water and poured the leftovers down the sink. We were disappointed by this wasteful behavior and found it unacceptable. We even took the time to check the cameras and it was between 15:10-15:20. We attached a picture showing the state of the toilet for reference. This was our first visit to the location and we will definitely not be returning. Food: 5 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Take out meal costing between £1-10 per person."

"Our 12 strong cycling group had booked a table for Thursday 24 August early morning after our arrival at Harwich Ferry Port. We had just completed 4 days of cycling in France, Belgium and Holland and the breakfast was just what we needed as we faced the cycle back to Redbridge, Essex. Liam and Melina were brilliant to reserving a lovely space for the group to relive adventures of the last few days and also to fuel up for the last push home. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we would definitely recommend and return again. Thank you very much."

"I ordered by telephone, part of the order was 10 sweet and sour chicken balls. Once delivered, which was fairly quickly, i emptied the containers and found that there were only 9 chicken balls. I had this problem with a previous order too, so I phoned to let Phoenix house know. I explained the situation and heard some animated discussion in the background, after which the call was dropped. So I phoned back explained the story all again and suggested they look at their quality control before dispatching, no apology but a thank you for letting them know. I know this is not 5 star dining but you would expect to receive what you paid for. This episode has left a bad customer experience for me and a loss of a customer for them."

"Really enjoyed my first visit here, not a great fan of Chinese food made for westerners but have to say the food is of excellent quality and lots of different menu options you would not find on most Chinese restaurants menus, I would describe the food here as premium Chinese, nice flavours, nice presentation. Also do draught beer too which is a from me. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and positive energy, service from young waitress good and the boss lady there is really sweet and obviously very hard working. Free parking outside restaurant and street, will definitely come again soon to try more of the menu Thank you"

"Arrived at 12:15 as part of a group of 16. 2 of the party were delayed by traffic but we were ready for 12: 40. Starters and Mains were preordered, followed by desserts coffee. Managed to pay at 3:15!!. The wait between courses was painfully slow. The food was mediocre at best. My Pie was made with very thick pastry accompanied by a table spoon of peas in a little egg cup sized container and too many chips. The coffee was a brown liquid and the Bread Butter pudding was stale cube of tough bread and fruit with a side of custard. My wife had scampi and chips that has few scampi and many chips followed by cheese cake which she said tasted nice but had a 2cm tough base. so the 2 of us had 2 courses that cost us £43."

"Not sure what all the raving star reviews are about, this place is average at best. What I found the most annoying was that we asked for toast instead of sliced bread and the hostile woman said that this would be extra... after already...spending on a couple of fry ups. Ridiculous and would never visit again, also service was crappy didn’t even say thanks and goodbye as we were leaving. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs so you don’t feel as disappointed as we did."

"Delicious food freshly prepared by friendly staff. Great atmosphere entertainment watching the world go by.Always great fun seeing the local chavs crack heads having the occasional punch up outside on an average day. Great Place to feed the family on a budget.The seagulls...are very friendly will always appreciate your custom. My toddlers love the cheeseburgers chicken nuggets.Big Macs are to die for. Deffo worth a visit if you like to treat your kids to good healthy food on a budget. "

"We tried options from the new vegan menu. The food was good, particularly the vegan curry, if a little pricey for what it was. I might have tried this take-away sooner, but their “vegetarian” menu options all contain fish. Fish is not vegetarian! But a thumbs up for including meat- and fish-free dishes now."

"I dined at this restaurant a few weeks ago and forgot to leave a review! The staff was incredibly friendly and the service was fast. The food was of amazing quality and I can't wait to go back. I give this restaurant 5 stars all day long! It's a really nice place and highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious meal. We also visited the bar next door, which had a great old-fashioned atmosphere. What a wonderful establishment they have! I will definitely be returning soon."

"We do some work in the town every six months and found this lovely little gem. I had the Beef Lasagne and garlic bread, my mate had ham and eggs, both meals were fantastic. We had to follow up with a delicious apple and rhubarb crumble. The ladies were really friendly and nothing to much trouble. That good we've reserved a table for our December visit."

"Have ordered a fair amount of times and has been great, have previously given a star review. Today however I was shocked at what I received. The kids had the most greasy chicken nuggets and stale tasting chips I’ve ever known. Absolutely gross. Some...where black like been re-fryed multiple times. The naan breads where still like raw dough and soggy, also gross. My prawn “Ceylon” was not as it should be. Was mild when is meant to be a hotter dish, bland, watery and greasy. The meal was truly terrible. I phoned up and they did not offer to replace the meal, and to be honest with min wait I would not of had the time. Left me feeling sick. The chef offered me percent of next order which i said was not good enough. He increased that to percent off but that the offer Uber eats are running anyway! The staff were apologetic but unfortunately that does not rectify the issue and disappointment of a exceptionally bad meal. I will now avoid and go back to the British raj now."

"Having read a poor review yesterday we thought we’d see for ourselves as we were visiting and it’s close. What a fab takeaway! Accommodating about changing things if needed, very friendly, reasonably priced, tasty food, good portions. Better than our favourite Chinese at home. Thoroughly recommended and can only suggest the poor review person was having a bad day. Thank you Dragon House."

"I placed an order on Sunday evening for delivery to a holiday park nearby where our family own a caravan. We have used Choices before and have always found the food to be tasty, fresh good value, so I was surprised to see some recent bad reviews. However going on previous experience I decided to use them again. The lady on the phone was polite was happy to arrange for my order to be delivered to an agreed location within the holiday park. Our food arrived quickly was still hot and was well packaged. All of the order was correct. The portions were really big great value. Delicious kebabs with crisp salad proper tasty chip shop chips, not those horrible string fries that some takeaway restaurants serve. Thanks Choices, we will be visiting the caravan again next month will be looking forward to ordering from you again."

"I have stayed at the Lifehouse Spa many times over the last 10 years it is always a delightful experience. The Spa itself is lovely, as are the rooms, bar area restaurant. I have just returned from a recent stay have to...say that the changes to the restaurant menu really don’t work spoilt our stay this time. In the past the menu has always been fine dining mixed with classic dishes so there are choices for everyone. However this has now changed to full on a la carte with all dishes really “poncey” with no traditional dishes to choose from with the exception of sirloin steak which I am not a fan of, but thank god they had that as I really struggled to choose anything. We contemplated going back to the room having room service but that menu was just as bad with just club sandwich as the only traditional option. The next day we went to have lunch again it was the same sort of menu all a la carte. Gone are the options for sandwiches etc. Again we were lucky they could accommodate us for afternoon tea instead. All in all I think Ugo’s new menu needs to go ! I am going back for another stay in December will definitely check the menu before I go if it is still the same I will drive out go somewhere local for dinner instead. In summary I would say my stay was 5 stars as always but the restaurant has dropped to 2 stars I’m afraid."

"To start, I would like to review the restaurant based on our experience during breakfast. The ingredients used were of top quality, including sausages, bacon from the local butcher, and bread from the local bakery, all freshly cooked in generous portions. We noticed that people who had main meals always cleared their plates. The accommodation, while basic, was very comfortable and had everything needed for a short stay. The shared fridge, microwave, toaster, and iron/ironing board provided more amenities than some other places. The pub itself was welcoming, and we never felt like outsiders as we chatted with some regulars who gave us tips on local attractions. Despite reading a previous review mentioning concerns about COVID-19, during our visit, everyone in the bar wore masks when moving around and followed all safety guidelines such as hand sanitizing. Stacy, the barmaid, was attentive and shared helpful local knowledge, while Kevin, the owner, was extremely helpful. Overall, for £65 a night for a double room including a top-quality breakfast, I highly recommend this place."

"I popped in there for breakfast today, 22nd November, 2019, in order to while away half an hour until my hairdressing appointment. I ordered two scrambled egg on toast and a cuppa. Nothing complicated there. The cuppa came relatively quickly and was unbelievable weak....The scrambled egg came with two slices of toast. I took one bite, and couldn't believe it. The toast was completely burnt and was covered with the scrambled egg. I separated the scrambled egg from the toast. The scrambled egg tasted OK. The result was that I left the two slices of burnt toast and most of the cup of tea. No one asked if I enjoyed it I think that it was obvious from my actions that I didn't and instead of complaining I just decided to pay up; walk out, and not to return ever!"

"in general Harwich takeaways are not good only place that’s good is the Turkish kebab. As for Chinese all the shops are not very good at all, but the peking always seemed to be a reasonable meal, not great but will do. Tonight’s order was probably by far the worst Chinese I have experienced. Chips was so dry and burnt (no potato left in them). Chicken balls was sloppy. Chowmein was not what. I called Singapore a couple of raw chillis lobbed on top with dry rock hard meat and cooked frozen prawns. Chilli beef was chewy and soggy. All in all a diss appointment. I was to scared to call them incase they wanted to send me some more food. Deffo won’t be eating Chinese from Harwich again."

"Wow! After attending a wildlife talk in the nearby hall, my group decided to treat ourselves with another talk scheduled for the afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised by the hidden gem that is this restaurant. The menu offered a wide variety of options, and we both decided to try the fish bake, which was absolutely delicious. The dish featured cod, salmon, and smoked haddock in a flavorful cheese sauce, accompanied by perfectly cooked fresh vegetables. I enjoyed a decaf latte, while my friend opted for a pint of pale ale. The prices were very reasonable, and we were so impressed that we have already recommended this place to our friends. We plan to return and spend a day exploring Holland, as we are not local to the area."
